In certain cases with certain issues. Keep in mind that your link also contains a long list of "obsolete and vintage" products which they refuse to fully repair if at all.
Planned obsolescence.
We're proud to announce that Leftypedia's community is starting a study group for socialist theory!
We're currently focused on basic Marxist and communist works, but will move on to other topics and more advance books later.
Our first book to study will be Principles of Communism, by Marx and Engels.
Everybody is welcome to join in. It will be held in our Discord server. Mention we're here for the study group and we'll let you in.
Capitalist realism. Human society has always been able to solve its problems. The issue is capitalism — our current society — can't solve the problems it created like massive wars, hunger, regular economic crisis, and global warming.
Capitalism hasn't existed forever, and it won't exist in the future. Our civilization will solve the problem of capitalism by seeing to its abolition.
Making repairs cost so much that it's less costly to buy the latest product and throw out the old one is a part of planned obsolescence.
A new logic board costs as much as a new computer. Hard drives are impossible to replace, RAM upgrades are hard, and even opening a Mac or iPhone voids your warranty. Not to mention all their nonsense with macOS upgrade requirements, batteries, and so on.

Definitely. Glad I could help.
Thanks for asking that.
We're mostly made up of communists and you'll see that viewpoint in our articles, but we're aiming to be multi-tendency and allow other socialists to join and edit so long as they present well-sourced information. We are different from ProleWiki in many ways, one of which includes our focus on providing original leftist discourse.
We are similar to ProleWiki in that we're both trying to spread revolutionary theory in an easy-to-understand way, it's more that we fill different roles.
We respect ProleWiki for what they are, but we understand that we have two different goals and nieces.
Thanks for asking that, we get that question a lot.
For one, ProleWiki follows a very narrow set of Marxist–Leninist thought. We're mainly Marxist-orientated, but seek to allow all socialists to contribute so long as they act in good faith.
ProleWiki also doesn't really allow original discourse as much as we do too.
American legal parlance is a nothingburger, not its actual real-world effects. This ruling has considerable effects in the states it's relevant in.
